Back to Labs/Ubiquity.

LEGAL NOTICE: Mozilla is providing links to these third-party Ubiquity commands as a courtesy, and makes no representations regarding the commands or any information related there to. Any questions, complaints or claims regarding the commands must be directed to the appropriate developer or software vendor.

Commands in the Wild

Please note that the main way we'd like commands to be distributed and shared in the future is via The Ubiquity Herd. Right now there isn't any social functionality on the Herd, though, which is why we're using this page to allow for user-contributed commentary and discussion. At some point in the near future we'll be adding this kind of functionality to the Herd and will migrate the content on this page there.

There Be Dragons Here

Pioneering can be crazy fun, but also a bit dangerous. The commands referenced here have not been reviewed by Mozilla. They may contain malicious code, so use them only at your own risk. Until Ubiquity becomes more mature, we recommend only adding commands that come from people you trust, or if you've read the code and know that they are safe.

Beware that even if you review the code before subscribing, the code may be subject to change from the publisher, and your copy will automatically update on firefox restart. This problem will be remedied in later versions of Ubiquity.

Note that you must also already be logged in at delicious.com to use this command.

  • 'facebook-status (your status)' - Updates your status, doesn't add "is"!
  • 'facebook-friend (your friend)' - Locate a friend. You have to type whole words, though (if searching for Amy Jones, you can't type Amy Jon; it must be one of: amy, jones, amy jones!)
